About Garnet Jewelry

When you are shopping for garnet jewelry, the most important value factor to consider is the quality of the garnet. The more vivid and bright the hue, the more valuable the garnet. Cut is even more important than clarity, since a well-cut garnet will dance with light.

Because all Gemvara jewelry is made to order, we can hand-select fine-quality garnet to perfectly suit your design.
